Genesis cameras draw high amperage that can potentially exceed the capacity of Lemo power connectors
Powering a Genesis from two Dionic batteries using direct P-tap cabling is possible but only provides limited runtime
Genesis cameras are heavy and back-heavy when configured as one-piece units, making them difficult to balance on Steadicam rigs
Future Genesis models were expected to use onboard flash storage instead of tape recording, which would significantly reduce power consumption

The thread discusses expectations about future flash drive models rather than tested implementations
No specific runtime measurements are provided for the Dionic 90 setup with Genesis
The discussion is from 2006 and reflects equipment specifications from that era
The advice about direct cabling is anecdotal rather than officially endorsed
